:smokin: I just ed wanted to add this for anyone that is interested. If anyone would like to know, I am taking out the old 4 cyl engine out of my 1987 Mustang LX since it has 173, 058 miles on it. I am replacing it with a 2.3 4 cyl out of my old 93 that kept blowing trannys.

The differences in engines is pretty significant.
87 motor:
Distributor
No timing position sensor
Different plug ins
4 Spark Plugs for Combustion

93 Motor:
Different Plug ins
Timing sensor
4 Spark Plugs for combustion
4 Spark Plugs for excess burn off
Dual coil packs
Wiring harness

So I am going to be swapping a lot if anyone would like to add some details on to it and some advice, please let me know. This is the first time I have done this so you never know how it may come out
